Already selected messages are skipped. Clear previous selections if you want the
chosen count to be your final total. You choose what to do after selecting.
ChatSelect does not delete, copy, forward or send messages.

If messages move before a batch is clicked, it waits four seconds, scans again,
and continues automatically. Failed verification still stops for you to review.

Compatibility: Windows desktop; WhatsApp in light mode. Wider Windows 10/11 testing
is still needed. The current engine was tested on one Windows/WhatsApp setup.
macOS, phones and dark mode are not supported by this release.

Your conversations are not uploaded. Screen captures are processed in memory,
not saved as images. Session status and timing files are stored in:
  %LOCALAPPDATA%\ChatSelect\Sessions

This is an independent, unofficial utility, not affiliated with WhatsApp or Meta.
Review your selected messages before taking any action in WhatsApp.
